This is my Dresden Maya Codex.
Reproduced are
14 pages: pages 4 to 17 of the original codex. I have chosen this part, because
it is the only part, which can be reconstructed with a good degree of
confidence.
To make this
reproduction, I have carefully studied the complete codex, in order to
reconstruct the missing hieroglyphs or damaged god figures. Then, in a work of
several months, I did a master drawing with Chinese ink on Fabriano Paper. This master drawing has been scanned and printed.
The colors are
original, as far as it was possible, because every facsimile print actually
looks different. Apart from that, the original colors obviously have faded
substantially.
Here is a detail
where you may compare my drawing with the original.
The red and
black dots and bars, which are numbers of the Maya calendar,
have been reconstructed or corrected according to the logic of the Maya
calendar.
If you order one of my codices, it will come with an information sheet, which explains the history of the codex and describes the most important maya gods.
The information is available in English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Russian and Japanese!

The next picture shows a reproduction of a
part of the Borgia Codex, the most beautiful Aztec codex.
By the way, the first page is the last page, since the Aztec codices are
read from right to left.
It shows the god of life, Quetzalcoatl, ad the god of the underworld,
Mictlantecuhtli.

The next picture
shows a reproduction of a part of the Codex
Nuttall, the most beautiful
Mixtec codex.
The codex is a
pictoric description of the life of the warrior-priest 8 Deer, who lived from
1063 to 1115 AD.
This picture shows the conquest of an island in the Maya area,
possibly in the states of Tabasco or Campeche. The expedition takes
place at night.
The warriors are a lord 9 Water,
the Mixtec king 8 Deer „Jaguar Paw“
and the Toltec king 4 Jaguar.
The expedition takes place in the year 1098. Only the name 9 Water
appears on this page.
The signs 10 Snake, 11 Death and 12 Deer are day signs,
which means, the expedition lasted 3 days.
